Makaro has had a puzz.link interface for a while, but puzzles in this genre are fairly rare -- there are only about 20 grids on PuzzleSquareJP and about three pages of puzzles on puzz.link (excluding the Nansuke puzzles made using the Makaro editor). This type is cute, and it has some interactions I don't really see in other number placement genres, but wow it is way harder to construct than I expected. Thanks be to myamya for extensive help with constructing these, especially the first one.
Rules: Place a number into each cell so that each region contains the numbers from 1 to N with no repeats, where N is the number of cells in the region. Numbers of the same value may not touch one another orthogonally. Each arrow must point to a number which is larger than all other numbers orthogonally adjacent to the arrow.
Both puzzles today are fairly small (as is typical with number placement genres). The first one is larger but easier, while the second is numberless with a slightly subtle break-in.
